Ran at Island a, with no owner in

-Four magnificent specimens OF the full

aay afternoon 10y Capt. George O'llayer
and Scrgt. lIcdrick, Of the police force. At
the staton.housc their names were regis

the eldest only thirty yeaH OF age, The
police received information yesterday that
carly Sunday morning Ii. Williams, re-
riding at Island 81, several miles above
this city ON the Mississippi river had been
robbed Of a lot Of clothing, Workmcn's
tools. tent, bcd-clothcs, and fine Win

said 10 b. Huaiing down the rivcr ON a irail
fat.boat, and the schedule time for their
arrival at this port had Just about elapsed.
Accordingly the two officers named started

mouth OF Wolf river oycrhaulcd the entire

ever was made, the pirates rcsorting 10 the

The story OF the men Is 10 the effect that
they were following the current 10y Island

20 the shore containing the articles men
toned. No human being was anywhere In
sight or 20 be found, and their conclusion
was that the owner had been drowned.
They do not claim 20 have made any cX-
tcnsiyc scarrh for an owner. but as no one
appeared 20 protect or insist their appro-
priati0n 81 the articles, they conveniently
laid aside conscientious scruplcs and took
charge OF everything except the raft. Mr.
Williams, the real owner, appeared upon
the scene soon after his plumber departed
with the pirates, and saw enough 10 fur

find some means 10 notify the Memphis
police. which he finally did, and just In
time. The prisoners gave the place Of

Independent: Fathers Bandini and
Prando, of the Society of Jesus, will
leave here tomorrow for the Crow reser-
vation, where at the mouth of Rotten
Grass creek, they will establish mission
for the conversion and improvement of the
Indians. They will at first establish their
work in tent from which will doubtless
grow one of the fine missionary establish
ments among the In!ians for which the
Jesuits are celebrated.
About fifty British Cree Indians, locat-
cd on Sun river, are starving one by one.
Petitions have been sent to Helena asking
for their relief, and the governor has tele-
graphed to Washington requesting an i'm
mediate response from the Indian depart
ment. Two Helena gentlemen were SO
magnanimous as to forward 800 to Sun
River to these Indians. The legislature
has also been asked to make an appropri-
alton of $500 for their relief.
About week ago, a man named Cal
houn whose ranch is on Congon creek in
Yellowstone county, started to go to a
neighbours few miles distant. When
within a mile of his destination his horse
fell into ravine, from which he could not
get it out alone and proceeded the balance
of his way on foot. The neighbor was
busy ON his arrival and could not return
just then to help rescue the horse, but
told Calhoun to return to the horse and
he would follow in few minutes. The
neighbor did as agreed, accompanied by
another man. They soon discovered that
Calhoun had lost his way, and they follow
ed his tracks until midnight when they
found him completely exhausted and de-
lirious. As Calhoun had kept himself
warm 10y walking almost constantly he
was not frozen, and soon returned to his
senses after reaching fire at the ranch
and partaking of warm refreshments.

were swept into the sewer. A rush was
made for the other end of the sewer and
men secured by ropes jumped into the

Held as HOSTAGES

The works Of the Gregory company, at
Gregory, were closed on Wednesday by
orders from the head office in New York.
The company employed 200 men, to
whom they owed $4,000, the pay due
them for the months of December and
January, and when the announcement
was made that work would be suspended
the miners determined to secure the
amount due them. Accordingly they
surrounded the men who had given the
orders to quit work-Manager Childs, f.
W. Batch, A. J. Seligman and Thos. L.
West-and informed them that they
would be held as prisoners until arrange
ments were made to pay oyer the money
due the miners. The prisoners telephon
ed to Wickes, and thence telegraphcd the
situation to the officers in New York. As
result the First National Bank in Hell
ena was authorized b. the Sellgmans at
New York to pay off the claim. and the
captives were liberated.

various Plans for Cleansing IL o.
Mind,


RICHMOND, VA, August 6, 1887.
To the Editor of the Dispatch /:
Dear Sir,-I have read recently. seve-
raj cards in the Dispatch IN relation 70
furnishing clear water and advocating
certain locations and plans, but fear
the authors have overlooked some iui-
portant namely, liability 70 u'n'-
ace and cost. Mr.. Brown, IN your IS
sue Of the Sd instant. suggests making
a basin of the river between the nortn
shore or railroad bank and Willlamss
island, building dam at the lower anu
upper ends OF this portion OF .he
james river channel. The two dams
would each be about 300 feet long anu
% feet high, and as the surface OF Wil-
liamssisland is at least IL feet lower
than the tow-path or railroad. bank
about AGO long and IL feet hign
would have to be made con-
Meeting the two dams, and this basin,
,phosc sides are OF earth, but with a
oronite base would contain about 100, :
COO, Goo gallons of water, and be SUB
;ect TO overflow in any such floods as
that of April, 1886, when the raiiroao'
Mt this point was entirely SUBMERGED ;
and, owing to such CONSTRUCTOR
having usurped at least one third Oh the
river channel, in case of high water
would render this location all the more
subject to overflow and great damage.
Moreover, by the construction OF sucn
dams as he proposes. the low grounds
from Williams's island to BoSher's dam
would be ruined, and, in any ordinary
rise in the river, would flood the West
ham granite qlarries. Again, to utilize
this stored clear water, suction-pipe
| II 600 feet long would have to be lad
to the new pumps, and, laying aside
the land damage, and damage to the
ouarries mentioned, the cost of such a
work as he mentions would reach
s2O0, 600, and still be liable to damage
or destruction by such floods as we had
in James river in the years 1870 and
1877.
What Mr.. HARDWOOD suggests-name'
". storing water above Bosher's dam
we already have, the serious and im'
movable obstacle being how to KEEP
this stored water clear and separate
from James river when it become:
muddy, as this basin is its natural
channel.
Being perfectly familiar with the 10
cations these gentlemen have selected
and advocated, and anxious to get The
best st reasonable cost, would b'
pleased to have them explain more full,
their plans and itemize the estimate,
cost. Yours respectfully, c. E. b.

meeting this year in New York, and is
using the rooms and halls of Columbia
College. We give n portrait OF the
distinguished man who succeeds Pro-
fessor Morse, of Salem, Massachusetts,,
az president of the association.
Professor s. =. Langley is resident
of Washington, where he is at present
acting as president of the Smithonian
Institution. Spencer f. Baird. the in
cumbent of the Office, being ill. He was
born in Roxbury, which now forms a
part of Boston, in the year 1891, and is
therefore about ffty-three years OF age.
While a pupil at the Boston Latin
school, he developed remarkable i'll
tercst in scientific inquiry. BY the time
he was thirty years old he had made a
solid acquaintance with astronomy, civil
engineering, and architecture. He was
in Europe in 1864 and 1865, where he
judiciously spent bis time in advancing
his acquaintance with several branches
of scientific learning. After his return
to the United States he taught astron-
omy successfully at Harvard the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, AMI
Pittsburgh. His lectures gave him
widespread reputation. The average
reader will know Professor Lang
lev the best as. a magazine
writer on astronomical subjects, the
sun chiefly. To the honors this learned
man has earned at home must be added
those given him in England. His mama
appears among those of the lecturers
before the Royal Institution of Lon
don. The Professor was among tho
distinguished people invited to address
the British Association in the year 1882
The meetings of the association o
which Professor Langley is this yea
president are regarded with an interes
which increases year by year.

HGotthelf Whom Rusktu Admtres.
rPall-Mall Gozctte.l

At the time in which Mr.. Ruskin is
trying to persuade his many disciples
to read an English translation OF one oil
Gotthelfs" remarkable novels OF
Swiss peasant life, Gotthelfs own
fellow-countrymen are erecting two
public memorials to him, both in the
parish where he long lived and labored.
The real name of "Jeremias Gotthelf "
was Albert .Bitzius. The author OF
"Uli the Farmer" was the Pastor oil
Lutzelfuh, in the canton OF Berne
Those who prefer to think oil
Bitzius as pastor are setting up a bus
of him in the old parish church, while
those who regard him preferably as the
most popular OF modern Swiss story,
tellers, propose to erect their memoflsI
upon O rock in the so-called "Scha
chen" where the keen observer OF me-
and nature delighted to wander an''
mediate. The setting up of two puo
lie memorials 10 the same man, III tns
same village, and at the same time
shows somewhat eccentric eagernes'
TO build the scpulchre OF the prophets
Mr.. Rnskin seems to be acqnaiatet
only with tho French TRANSACTIONS o
"Gotthelf's" stories. The original der
man is full OF dialect, which can DO rem
dsred much more easily in our owl
language than in the French.

the honor OF defending the cup against
the Genesta, Mr.. Forbes engaged Mr..
Burgess to model a yacht to beat the
New York Priscilla. The Puritan
was the result, and her victory over
her New York rival and then over
the Britisher gave Mr.. Burgess a
worldwide reputation. A year ago
his triumph of 1885 was more
than outdone 10y the performances OF
the Mayfower. The Volunteer, built
for General Paine, gives promise OF
wonderful speed. There is no evadius
the conclusion that Designer Burgess:
has extraordinary ability in bis line OF
work. The coming international yacht
race will be trial Of skill between De-
signer Watson, of Glasgow, and De
siPner Burgess, OF Boston.
Besides the three boats named, Mr.
Burgess designed the cutter Rondina
the steam yacht Hanniel, and the
schooner Sachem. The last-named /;
a craft Of wonderful speed.
Mr.. Burgess, who is bookish as wei
as nautical kind of person, is grad
uate of Harvard. He has served a
secretary and treasurer OF the Easter
Yacht Club. People who know hiu
best speak with amusement OF the boy
like playiulness with which the specta
cled student and naval architect enjoy
relaxation from his generally arduou
and anxious undertakings.
